In our constant quest to offer our customers, not only the best product, but also the best service and access to all the information needed to determine just who is the very best leather jacket maker, we now invite callers at the factory to compare how old Aero jackets stand up against the perceived "opposition". These are companies whose jackets have earned a certain reputation whether merited or not, that's not for us to say!We have in our showroom, a selection of recently made/current used jackets by Langlitz, Lost World's, Real McCoys and Eastman which can be judged against new and/or old Aero jackets.
Disclaimer: The fact that a company is listed above does not necessarily mean that we do or do not consider that company's jackets to be of any particular merit, we leave that judgement to the individual caller who may judge for himself or herself, having compared the various jackets against each other "in the flesh".
